SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 274,995, dated April 3, 1883.

T0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN TOUSSAINT, l' the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and nset'ulImprovements in Vials or Bottles, ot' which the following is at'ull, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention relates especially to vialsused for containing paints, bronzes, cosmetics, or any other substance which requires to be mixed in any manner after being removed from the vial, and before use, and has for its object the production of a device which shall embody in itselt' a receptacle for the unmxed substance and a suitable depression, cavity, or cup wherein it may be mixed for use'.

Toaccomplish this end my invention consists of a vial or bottle blown or cast in thematerial with a brush or other suitable imple ment, and while using the prepared substance.

. The mixing-cavity should be of-suicient depth to prevent danger of spilling the mixed substance.

Like letters of reference, wherever they oc-l Having now fully described my invention,k

l. As a new article of manufacture, a vial or bottle having an open cavity formed in the side wall thereof, said cavity extending nearly to the wall of the bottle opposite to that in which it is formed, and being located and arranged in suoli a manner that the center of gravity of any contents of the cavity will be low enough to prevent the turning or rolling ofthe bottle, substantially as shown and described.
